only 13% with mitt romney's. he's probably looking at the pew poll that finds mormons up there with muslims in terms of "i don't trust them. which was a few years back. but this is now. >> right. and he has to understand that things change over time. right? i mean, he looks at polls back from when his father ran for president. that showed that 18% of the country said they wouldn't vote for a mormon. that stayed relatively the same. but these things, prayers at conventions, aren't about electoral consequences. they're about showing the side of the candidate that turns to god. i think that people would feel comforted and a little bit relieved to see him be open and frank about his faith. because they're really -- >> maybe he should. because it is a part of his core person. which is the number one complaint we hear about mitt romney. we don't see that heart, right. >> absolutely. he just has to own it i think. i think a lot of mormons will give him a pass because they want to see him in the white house. they're prot

romney? people default to their partisan position. the real question is where are they breaking? where's the advantage? the differential. how does it break down on the way, what you see internals of that poll. democrats highly supportive of president obama. republicans, very lukewarm on romney. that kind of intensity is a problem. the differential, thatst a problem for romney. the reason is because what we saw from mitt romney is something in kindergarten, engage brain before opening mouth thing. you can't play the kind of talk first shoot later think afterwards style of diplomacy. it's not what works for commander in chief. >> rick, you hear 26% for romney. that's got to make you scared. >> sure. it's a terrible number. i'd like to know what was given to these respondents to respond because if they were given in i news media reports from the last week, i wouldn't blame them. the news media has been atrocious. here, we have mitt romney waiting 15 hours while the islamists are beginning to tak

what does it say about mitt romney, especially in general election, you poll independents he gets 42%, versus president obama getting 51. that's a pretty damning statistic. >> it's agonizing and depressing. >> all depends where you're sitting, buddy, right? >> right. >> in december when newt gingrich had the first of his two surge, he surrendered to the ryan plan, in december he endorsed it, put that around his neck. now, there's now another not mitt surge and this time, mitt romney has been pressed back into this contraception fight, something i'm sure he wanted to have no part of. he has now been pushed toward not quite the full santorum but semi santorum on the contraception issue. >> something sounds very wrong about the full santorum, sorry. >> the more pressure placed on him, is the an eternal problem inside the republican party, it puts more and more pressure on mitt romney that do things that make him, as you said, less and less electable with the broad middle of american politics. >> what do you think this means? >> if you look back over the last three or four month, obama's

this is "the des moines register" poll. what does this tell about you what iowa voters are thinking? >> well, it tells you that this is really good news for mitt romney. mitt romney has been selling himself on somebody who can beat barack obama. one thing that unites all republicans this election season is they want to beat barack obama. you look at this number for mitt romney. 48% say he is the most electable. gingrich is trying to sell himself that way. ron paul says he can go the distance. but, down the line. this -- so if romney were to win tomorrow, this would be a very big part of the reason. not because people love him. but because they think he can possibly win. >> right. this is something we should let everyone know. in the entrance polls, we have a slew of questions, among them, are you looking at electability, are you looking at values? brings me to something else you want to talk about. who best relates to iowans which tells a different story when it comes to mitt romney. >> right. mitt romney, remember at the b

just take a look at this one cnn poll from ohio, which everyone knows is a crucial state. dead heat. not even statistical. literal. between santorum and romney. historically, super tuesday is when the nomination the clinched. bush, clinton, mccain all e mernled after the big day, but tomorrow, nobody will walk away with the actual nomination. not as many states as last time and this whole proportional allocation thing, that's a real problem. some of those guys probably regret it now, unfortunately for the gop, they have caused this to drag out. this has been going on and destroying the party's image. four in ten americans say the process has left them with a less favorable impression of the republican party. okay, so great to have you with us. i appreciate it. let's talk first of all about what everybody needs to do tomorrow to win this thing. mitt romney is the guy people are looking at to see if he can do it. he's got to win a majority of delegates. >> yeah, i think the bar's pretty high, but he's won five states in a row. the big moe seems to be behind mitt romney. the
